09.29.08Man, When We Were Freshman in College, We Were SO Much Cooler!Amherst College surveyed its incoming freshman class and the demographic analysis of its Class of 2012 is pretty interesting. While, as mentioned in the title of this post, we were almost certainly much cooler than them when we were freshmen in college, it seems relatively likely that these kids have more iPhones than we did our first year of college...and iPhones are awesome. Anyway, here are some of the statistics from the article at Collision Detection: Percentage of first-year applicants who applied online in 2003: 33%. Percentage of applicants who ...

05.03.08Everybody Loves PatWell, right now everybody in Philly does at least. With the consistency that he has been hitting the ball over the first 30 games, Pat looks way too locked in for this to be a fluke. He's hitting .417 with 2 outs and runners in scoring position (RISP), .435 with runners on (an absurd 20 out of 46) and a slick .478 with RISP. It's fun to get caught up in all this (i.e. plan our World Series parade right now), but we've got to remember: the guy is a career .260 hitter, and, invariably, he just ...

04.19.08Appreciating Pat BurrellDefinitely the first time I've ever seen those three words strung together - and by a Philly writer to boot. Already off to a great start Burrell has really been the glue so far holding this injury-plagued Phillies team together. As of right now Burrell ranks 1st in all of baseball in WPA/LI with a 0.98; his 0.98 is a full eighteen percent ahead of closest competitor Mark Reynolds. Burrell also ranks 1st in BRAA and REW, ahead of Joe Crede in both; in BRAA he is a full half-run ahead of Crede. Much of the talk surrounding the Phillies ...

03.11.08MJ vs. Kobe: No MatchAs if this comparison needed any more analysis to show that Michael Jordan is a far superior basketball player than Kobe Bryant ever will be, a friend of mine directed me to a fantastic website pointing out just how lopsided the comparison truly is. Here are a few choice statistical tidbits: If Kobe were to play another ten seasons of 80 games apiece (for 800 games total), he would have to average over 35.5 points per game for the rest of his career to match Jordan's career scoring average. He hasn't even had one season that high. Kobe could make ...
